Areas
My research interests are in the neurobiology of learning and memory, using behavioral neuroscientific techniques with rodents to answer questions about brain-behavior relationships. Techniques used in my laboratory include eyeblink classical conditioning, radial arm maze learning, quantitative neuroanatomy, single-unit physiology, and intracranial drug infusions. I am particularly interested in the contributions of both the cerebellum and the hippocampus to learning and memory in both the intact brain and in rodent models of human clinical conditions, particularly fetal alcohol syndrome and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. My current research interests include:
  • what role does the cerebellum play in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder?
  • how do the hippocampus and cerebellum interact during learning?
Accepting Students Fall 2010
Professor Green is especially interested in accepting students who enter the program in the Fall of 2010.
Room 414 John Dewey Hall
Research in the Green laboratory examines the relationships between learning, neuroanatomy, and neurophysiology in both normal rodents and rodent models of neurological and psychiatric disorders.
